ALBERT SIDNEY JOHNSTON.
Unwilling OF q statue to His
Memory mt New Orleans.

WAeInOEy NOW OEAch M0s
New ORLEANS, April 6.-The cere-
monies incident to the unveiling of the
statue of General Albert Sidney John
ston took place this afternoon, in the
presence of ten thousand people. On
the platform were many noted persons,
including Mr.. and Mrs. Jefferson Davis,
their daughter, General Baauregard and
staff, and others.
Davis spoke in eloquent words OF his
old friend and brother soldier, and re-
counted at length his services to the
State of Texas while they were fighting
for their liberty and the right of self.
government; also his services to
the United States during the war
with Mexico. In conclusion, he
said: 81 loved him as brother, I hon
ored him as man, admired him as
hero; but more than all this felt the
loss to the Just cause which was inflicted
when Johnston died. My friends, l
have already said enough. You all know
that Johnston led an army which was
composed of material rapidly thrown
together. One corps commanded by
the gallant and true soldier,
Bragg, was the only one which had the
advantage of thorough discipline. You
who followed Johnston through battle
saw how he had gone forward, step by
step, until at last he was snatched by
death from the very arms of victory,
almost completed by his genius
and your valor - the valor of
the army of the Tennessee =
which, whether in advance or retreat,
received no stain to transmit to future
generations"
In reply to an invitation to be present
at the unveiling, President Cleveland
sent the following:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, April l.. 1887.
Walter II. Rogers, President, Etc.:
My DEAR SIR acknowledge with
thanks an invitation extended to me by
the Association of the Army of the
Tennessee to attend the unveiling of an
equestrian statue of General Albert
Sydney Johnston on the 9th
inst. at Metaire Cemetery. l
regret that owing to engrossing official
duties, which demand my attention, I
cannot be present on that occasion,
That General Johnston was great sol.
dier, and from the time he left West
Point to the hour Of his death on the
field of Shiloh, he was conspicuous for
valor, for military celebrity, and for the
highest personal character, must be fully
conceded by all his countrymen. The
erection of monument for the perpetu'
alton of his name is a fitting testimony
to the affection and respect in which he
is held by his comrades of the civil war
and may we'll be to them work of the
greatest interest and satisfaction. The
patriotic sentiments accompanying the
invitation which have received
and the fraternal feeling therein ex.
pressed, l gladly recognize as proof
that in the present condition every
American citizen may share in the pride
inspired by the illustration of the traits
which have ennobled American charact.

"ERMINIE"
Produced Again at the Grand
Last Night.


At the Grand Opera House last night
Mr.. Carleton's opera company produced
for the last time for the present, the
popular musical craze of the day,
Erminie. At all points the performance
was highly satisfactory. All the mem.
bers of the troupe were in good voice
and spirits, and the audience enjoyed to
the full the sprightly music and rattlinp
fun of the piece. Mr.. Carleton favored
the music-lovers of the city with his
two charming songs
woman, Dear Woman"
And,
"Rose Marie"
Rarely indeed were they sung, the latter
being particularly sweet for the pathos
thrown into the tender notes by the
exquisite baritone voice of Mr.. Carleton.
The attraction for tonight is the
Mikado, an opera the Carleton people
produce with fine taste and telling
effect. The setting tonight will be
entirely new, and is very fine, having
besn painted for Mr.. Carleton during
his recent visit to San Francisco.
For Friday evening. and the Saturday
matinee, The Drum Majors Daughter is
underscored. The opera is new here.
and is very bright and sparkling. For
Saturday evening the Mikado again.

the entire Democratic ticket has

the result first anticipated. The Pro-
